"Garden Song"
Song

"Garden Song" is a popular children's song and American folk song.

"Garden Song" was written by David Mallett in 1975 and has become a part of American folklore since being recorded by the Muppets in 1995.[1] The song has been also recorded by Paul Stookey of Peter, Paul and Mary, John Denver, Pete Seeger, and Arlo Guthrie.[2] The version of "Garden Song" covered by John Denver made the national charts.[3] The song also inspired a book called Inch by Inch by Leo Lionni in 1995.[4]
